  • TAKING TERRITORIES Part 3

    *PART 3… TAKING TERRITORIES*

    The greatest battles are fought in the mind.

    Until you capture the mind of people you cannot influence them reasonably.

    Going over the scriptures of last week:

    The biblical story of the mad man of Gadara in Mark 5 and Luke 8.

    We see a man whose mind was taken over by demons.

    Once his mind was taken over, the rest was story… He goes about doing the wishes of those spirit.

    Whosoever takes over the mind rules a life.

    *In the same light, whatever controls our mind will determine how far we can go in life.*

    _Ultimately, it’s not the circumstances of life that differs but how we think and process situation that lend to our lives how far we will go and what we will become_

    *Proverbs 23:7 KJV*

    *For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…*

    No one go beyond what his mind approves…

    And no matter the fortune we come into, we end up back to the level of our mind.

    *Here are two instances in my discussion with someone today:*

    1. A woman lives in USA. Very comfortably that she housed a large church in her home.

    She became sick, suddenly somebody who was far beneath her in education, exposure, wealth and travels lured her to Nigeria down to a herbalist.

    Then she died.

    *The lesson:*

    No matter how one rises in life, if his mind isn’t renewed he will fall back like pack of cards in time of crisis.

    So the Bible says… Let your mind be renewed.

    2. A friend talks: My prayer is… “Let the will of God be done.”

    I told him, there must be a specific will we want of him.

    When Jesus prayed at Gethsemane for the will of God, he had something in mind.

    The Bible say we should ASK… And we shall receive….

    Without this knowledge of asking, we will be children of God and we will remain despondent of the paraphernalia of grace.

    *Now we are were we are going*

    *When we want to take territories, we ask and demand for it:*

    … This is a function of what’s on our mind… If you think you can, then you can

    Psalm 2 expressly tells us: ASK OF ME… TERRITORIES

    Psalm 2:8 KJV
    *Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.*

    _In the kingdom, you take territories to the extent of your asking… The only clause is that you take the kingdom for God in the name of Jesus Christ_

    This means that we can grow in impact infinitely if ALL we are about is to the glory of God.

    Like the story of the mad man of Gadara, if we fail to take the territories allotted to us, the enemies will take them.

    Note: There’s no free territories, the one we fail to take, the enemies will take on:

    The media
    Business
    Moral
    Politics
    Governance
    Entertainment
    Etc.

    *This takes us to different territories:*

    Some of us do believe that Christians territory is only at the church… No, no…

    The bible says: the earth is the Lord and the fullness.

    Politics and governance is bad because of the kind of players in it.

    *Politics and governance is bad because of the kind of players in it.*

    Finally, prayerfully find a territory to take for the Lord. You can.

    God bless you.

  • TAKING TERRITORIES Part 2

    Animals have territories… Lions, leopards, eagles.

    Man a higher being also demonstrates the strive to gain territories.

    Ancient wars are set in motion in order to gain territories… Such wars gave birth to Roman empire, Grecian empire, Yoruba empire and many other.

    The Bible also confirms this as we watch the rise of Egyptian empire, the nation of Israel, Syria, Assyria and Babylonian empire.

    *The world is set that way…*

    The bottom line is that you’re either expanding your ground and horizon or you’re being swept under other people’s power and influence.

    You’re either growing or diminishing. Somebody is gaining while another is losing.

    *Territorial influence starts from the mind.*

    Territorial growth is something you’re not allowed to joke with…

    *There’s always a territory to take by everyone that cares*

    The difference is that in modern day, civilization has moved the world from gaining territories through warfare and killing.

    In modern days we have moved from struggling and forceful taking over.

    This is attributed to the impact of the gospel and the Bible

    *In today’s world we don’t takeover by the sword but by the spirit/Spirit and by the mind*

    Therefore the battle for *territories* have been moved from land to the *mind* by the *spirits/Spirit*

    _So we can say that territories are conquered in the mind in order to be won out there_

    What you failed to win within you cannot be established in your outer world. Thus the taking over is an inside-out job.

    *This is the basics of the Elevation Code… Reconstruction of the mind…*

    *We hereby ask for the help of the Holy Spirit in this*

    *_In today’s world we don’t takeover by the sword but by the spirit/Spirit and by the mind_*

    There’s a biblical story which is of immense help in Mark 5 and Luke 8.

    It’s the story of the mad man of Gadarene

    In order to render him useless demons (spirit beings) took over his mind. He became insane as a result of thousands of demons living within him.

    The demons took over the territory of his mind. As long as this spirit took over his mind they keep controlling his world.

    *Therefore, whatever controls your mind controls your world*

    Whatever you lose in your mind you lose out in your world.

    *Proverbs 4:23 KJV*

    Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

    What changes us is the transactions that takes place in our mind.

    When the demons within the mad man were cast out, the mad man turned around from being violent to becoming a disciple of Christ.

    Surrendering to Christ is the beginning of spiritual exchange for dominion.

    The mad man upon submitting to Christ became a new man.

    When Christ is settled within you, the Holy Spirit the comforting Spirit enters into you and by deliberate communion your mind grow in capacity to embrace all that God wants for you.

    You either allow the Holy Spirit to lead you or you’re opened to demonic attack.

    *As I round up remember: The biggest territory to win or lose is the territory of the mind*

    Your world is opened to you according to the frame of your mind.

    *Proverbs 4:23 KJV*

    Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

    Your mind is the foundation of all the good ground you’ll ever take.

    God bless you.
